A May 14 Mother's Day Highlight
A RECOMMENDED BEST BUY FROM THE NEW MAY 13 RELEASE

KEW VINEYARD MARSANNE 2019

This new blend of 93% Marsanne and 7% Viognier has a bright medium straw colour and an attractive intense nose that's slightly spicy, gently toasty and quite complex with ripe, citrusy, lemon-apple meringue fruit. Dry, medium bodied, harmonious and well structured, the elegant, bright, ripe, lemon-apple-apricot flavours are followed up by a lingering, faintly savoury finish. Versatile and ready-to-drink - great with oysters, seafood and/or poultry. This bargain-priced Rhone-inspired blend has 14.3% alcohol, 3 g/L residual sugar and 5.7 g/L total acidity. It spent 8 months in 100% French oak with lees aging and has a screwcap closure.
